She has had three novels published: A Bear with an Egg in her Paws (Citron Press 1999); God Breathes his Dreams through Nathaniel Cadwallader (Headline 2002); With the Sound of the Sea (Headline 2004).

In 2015, she won a Northern Writers’ Award and is currently putting together a historical exhibition at Lowther Castle, near Penrith, to open Easter 2017.

The Idea...

...is to provide a peaceful and happy environment where you can make some real headway with your creative projects.

You can paint or write and if you want to come just to read and think, that is equally welcome.

Retreats from 5-10 nights;maximum six guests.

Two en-suite double rooms; two doubles, one twin (can be shared) with shared bathroom.
